Likely causes
- A leak, sometimes so small it goes unnoticed
- Kinked supply or drain hose
- Too much detergent or non-HE detergent creating suds
How to fix LC: safe DIY steps
- Look for evidence of a leak; if you find one, fixing the leak fixes the error
- Check that the supply hoses and drain hose behind the washer are not kinked. Do not remove the screw on the back that holds the drain hose against the washer
- Run an empty cycle with no additives (detergent, fabric softener, etc.) and watch for suds. If they appear, too much detergent or a non-HE detergent has been used; keep running empty cycles until the suds are gone, then check whether the code returns
Capacitors can hold a charge after the power is off. Safety terms.
